I need more information before I can make a coherent comment.Why don't you think they should disclose their funding sources? IMO, we should have transparency in government and I'm kind of surprised that you disagree with this...or am I misunderstanding you?I disagree, but at least you are consistent, thus proving you are not partisan.
I fully support transparency in government, but this is not government. During the Jim Crow years some states used donor lists to retaliate against companies and individuals that advocated for civil rights. That alone is enough reason for me to continue the tradition of anonymous donations to organizations that engage in political speech, even if they advocate positions I disagree with.
Fear of retaliation, though, is not enough to make campaign donations private.
No one FORCES anyone to donate, after all.
